The Climate Change Truth

When money is not a motive, it is a blind liberal ideology. The cap and trade bill is clearly unnecessary, but was passed to make government bigger. Many proponents of climate change are using the issue to raise taxes, create new agencies, make stricter standards you have to live by, and put capitalism out of business. It is sick because they are using a nonexistent issue, which many people believe in, to promote creeping socialism on this country. That is what they are doing, and pay attention because it is getting worse. Luckily, people are discovering the truth about these issues and the numbers for those who do not believe in this fallacy are rising.

Senate May Pass U.S. Climate Bill, Reject Treaty, Kerry Says

July 2 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Senate may pass legislation to slow climate change and then fail to approve a global treaty that commits nations to do so, Senator John Kerry said.

Kerry, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, will be a leader in Senate efforts to place the first domestic curbs on greenhouse gases, after the House approved a measure last week. Even if a Senate bill passes, there may not be enough support to ratify an international accord incorporating the U.S. commitments, the Massachusetts Democrat said in an interview.

A possible Senate rejection poses a threat to the 192- nation effort to forge an agreement, which scientists say can help slow warming that’s raising sea levels and changing rainfall patterns globally.

“We are definitely going to make more progress if there is a strong international agreement that the U.S. is a party to,” said Nigel Purvis, who in the 1990s worked as a U.S. negotiator on the Kyoto climate treaty that the U.S. didn’t ratify. Passing domestic climate-change legislation remains the most crucial step, Purvis said.

Senate ratification of a treaty would require 67 votes, compared with 60 for legislation.

“Sixty-seven votes is a big target here,” Kerry said last week, before Congress left for a one-week break. “We may be able to pass something that puts America on track to accomplish our set of goals. But we may pass it with 60 votes, or 61 or whatever, and that’s not 67.”
